Confession

Read by Leader

Our confession is along the lines of disobedience or lethargy. Christ said "Why call ye me Lord, Lord and do not the things that I say".  So let us go around and each read one of the 30 commands of Christ that we've selected and repent of not obeying them or halfheartedly, obeying them.

I'll start with #1.  Lord, You have said; Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before. (Matthew 5:12)

Notes

​Each will read until all 30 are read and make a one sentence confession if not obeying well or request help to do it.

​If you know all the commands and obey them, rejoice and pray for the rest of us miserable offenders.
